Brake Warning Light - SSANGYONG REXTON II 2006 Owner's Manual

BRAKE PEDAL (FOOT BRAKE)
The brake pedal (foot brake) is designed to decrease the ve-
hicle speed and stop the vehicle. Do not excessively apply
the brake pedal while going down a long hill. The brake sys-
tem will overheat causing the vapor lock or fade phenom-
enon thus losing braking force. Use the foot brake along with
the engine braking effects by selecting lower gears.
CAUTION
Avoid abrupt engine braking on slippery roads or the tires may slip.
Fade?
Reduction or loss in braking force due to loss of friction be-
tween brake pads and disc.
Vapor Lock?
When the brake system is overheated, the fluid in the brake
lines will boil and form bubbles. Only the bubbles will be
compressed when the brake pedal is depressed. So the
brakes cannot work properly due to loss of braking force.
Engine Brake?
A system that allows for the slowing of a vehicle that is
independent of the conventional braking systems. A driver
would normally down-shift to slow the driver's descent of
a hill, using engine compression. The engine brake in-
creases the effectiveness of this regarding force.

BRAKE WARNING LIGHT

Illuminating
This warning light comes on when the parking brake is ap-
plied and/or the brake fluid level is lower than a specified level.
Flashing
If the vehicle is driven for over 2 seconds (at a speed of 10
km/h or higher) while the parking brake is applied, the parking
brake warning light flickers and the warning buzzer sounds. If
it occurs, immediately stop the vehicle and release the park-
ing brake.
Brake Pads/Discs
Check the brake pads/discs for wear at every 10,000 km of
driving and replace if necessary.
If a brake pad/disc squeaks, replace it with new one
immediately.
It indicates that they should be replaced.
CAUTION
The service interval is subject to driving style.
